Many of the programs that Access Services offers can be paid through the DD Waiver. As you are planning for services and supports, you may want to consider this funding option. Often, the use of funds needs to be paired with a goal within the person's individual plan. Participants must pay for their classes. Access Services does not bill county agencies. Receipts will be issued so participant can apply for financial reimbursement based on waiver stipulation.
